100% Orange Juice
I’m revamping this review, as my last one which I had made months ago was meant as a in-joke, which probably isn’t the ideal approach. So, where do I begin?
100% Orange Juice is a board game featuring characters across multiple games from the Japanese indie group daidai (who are better known as OrangeJuice among the populace). The game premise is to move around the board obtaining stars and/or wins from successful battles, which allow you to increase your Norma level, which in turn allows access to cards. Cards play a vast role in 100% Orange Juice by changing the scenarios in and outside of battle. Some common examples are having access to two dice for movement, healing yourself after a battle, and setting traps which can slow down other players. Due to the versatility of cards, you will find yourself always trying out different deck creations.

After many hours of play, I think it’s time I finally put in a review as a means of advice to potential buyers.
100% Orange Juice is good/challenging game that will give you many triumphs and tragedies. Many negative reviews you may read might say things like “games are very long and require almost no skill” or “you just throw dice”. I disagree with these sentiments entirely. If you intend to buy OJ, you need to understand it’s a very specific kind of game. This is a dice board game, where RNG and skill take center stage. If you intend to buy this game and assume you can master it and win every game, and have a perfect W/L ratio, prepare to be disappointed. It is impossible to master OJ and sometimes the game can be extremely upsetting. So why do people like me keep coming back?

Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle
The name might seem a little off-putting for some, but if you want to delve into Japanese-style mahjong then this is pretty much the only option on Steam right now. The “Schoolgirl edition” is the same game just with a different skin.
GAMEPLAY
In terms of Riichi rules, the options menu allows you to configure the ruleset to your preference (length of game, red 5’s, particular Yaku’s etc).
The AI of each character is set to prefer a particular playstyle, to take extra risks in attack or be safer in defense, to favour melds or triplets etc.

Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle is nothing else than a simple japanese version of the Mahjong game…..with anime girls.
For all of you who stayed to read a more “complex” review of this game…well…as complex as you can get about a game of mahjong anyways, here is what you will get.
First of all, the whole mahjong game it self works deceantly, which is good because other than that, there is nothing much really.
The whole anime side of the game, is like a nice sticker on something plain, so you can try and make it look unique. The girls talk in japanese but they all have 3 or 2 lines total, which gets pretty repetitive and the fact that some of the girls sound pretty annoying too, doesnt help either. The music doesn’t really fit the whole game either. Thankfully you can mute every sound or the two individually in the options menu if you want to.

There are a lot of puzzles to solve with this product which makes it a good value for the price, especially if you get it on sale as I did. The multiple difficulty settings that allow you to choose the number of pieces and the fact that you can work on multiple puzzles at a time since your progress auto saves are greatly appreciated, as is the button to separate edge and inner pieces, and a lot of the art is pretty nice, but all of these positives fail to make up for janky controls and very poor UI. I’ve had more trouble with selecting and moving a piece than I have with actually figuring out where they go on the 70 piece option, turning what should be a relaxing way to spend time into an often frustrating affair. I’ve finished 6 or 7 puzzles at this point and couldn’t honestly say I enjoyed any of them. I do intend to push through the rest of them at this point, but I still haven’t ruled out going for a refund instead.

Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle : School Girls Edition
The very first thing that should be iterated about this game is that it is by NO MEANS a good way to learn how to play Riichi Mahjong at all. Don’t buy this expecting it to include a tutorial on how to play; the only “help” it includes is a quick reference to what buttons do what when pressed. This game is basically your standard, low-budget, offline Mahjong software that’s pretty common in Japan. As such, it’s marketed towards a demographic which is already, at the very least, passingly familiar with the game and how it’s played. The translation was likely done via google translate in an attempt to make more sales by cashing in on a Western audience who might’ve watched Akagi or Saki and thought “man, I have no idea what the fuck is going on but this looks really cool! I want in!” In that respect, it would seem that the developers were pretty successful in their endeavour, much to the buyers' dismay.

Pros:
-
fully functional Riichi Mahjong on Steam
-
“custom rules” like number of rounds, starting points, open tanyao, red fives, etc.
Cons:
-
“pretty” and “cute” are subjective. Just a handful of the girls don’t look like shit
-
no tutorial for beginners, not even basic stuff like a scoring table or yaku-list. If you can’t play riichi you won’t learn it with this game
-
horrible gamespeed. You have the choice between painfully slow and way to fast. Choose slow and one game lasts several minutes. Choose fast and the AI discards 3 tiles in a split second. Best thing about that: If the AI calls on a discard for a win you don’t know who it came from and what it was until a cut scene ends.

Where are my Internets?
One-of-a-kind DYI-style indie board game, simple but challenging.
Contrary to what you may (and I did) think at first, it’s really hard to play with a single character; but it has a special achievement for winning exactly that type of a game. Some of the encounters are purely fictional, and it’s weird in a funny way to see this in a setting based around searching for (and actually installing) a satellite dish-provided Wi-Fi in some rural area.
All in all, funny little adventurous thing, best played in hot-seat mode!

Cute Board Game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw8ASYH1YJg
[Disclaimer, I played this Solo, it is probably more fun with friends locally]
- Visually the game looks pretty adorable with cute drawn artwork that looks more or less like a hand-made board game.
-
Far too RNG based. The entire game is based off pure luck, there is little to no real strategy or decisions for the player to make, every outcome is based on the dice roll.
-
The gameplay is too simple and repetitive. You roll, land on a tile, fight a monster, if you win you get money or an item you can sell. That is about all there is to the entire game… if you land in the city you can pay to put up internet. Once you get enough money from fighting, and get internet in every town you win… I could not find anything fun, really lacks any real challenge.

Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire
Hello Everyone,
Sometimes you just want to play a solitary game of Mahjong to clear your head and relax. Well Pretty Girl Mahjong is not that type of game at all, keep moving ahead. In this review we will be looking at developer’s Zoo Corporation’s first title in their Solitary Pretty Girl Majong series, “Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire”. Now let get to the Review, shall we.
Pretty Girl Mahjong Solitaire is essentially a solitary game of Mahjong. However, it is not your traditional solitary game of Mahjong. It is a speed run version of a solitary Mahjong game experience. When I first came across this game, I was looking for a Solitary Mahjong game like the ones that originally came pre-installed in many consumer level PCs. It became blatantly apparent that this game was not going to offer me that after I started the first level and there was an ominous time bar that was draining as I was still deciding how to make my first move. Initially I was somewhat disappointed by this but I quickly got over my disappointment because I am also rather fond of time attack trials in games.

Some updates have been released for this game that call for an update on my old review! My last review was back on August 31st, and new features have been implemented that make the game more accessible and enjoyable.
Let me start my review by cutting straight to the chase:
This game is not meant for H-Fans. It is meant for mahjong fans that appreciate fanservice. If you aren’t a big fan of mahjong, then it doesn’t matter how much you like cute girls, you’re not going to enjoy this game.
There is no actual nudity. If you’re looking for explicit nudity then you’ll have to go somewhere else.

Billion Road
Billion Road is a fun game that shows a lot of heart. The mechanics are fun and it’s easy to learn, despite not always being explained well. On occasion, new prompts or events will show up for your AI opponents and the game speeds through them faster than you can read. While this can be irritating and lead to you missing new or important information, you will often experience the prompts again on your own turn and can read them at your own pace whenever they do show up. This game is adorable and unique and gives you so much freedom of choice when it comes to how you choose to spend each turn. I also thought the ability to customize your avatar in game as you unlock items whenever you want was a nice little feature as well. In my opinion, if you enjoy games like monopoly and fortune street, you’ll enjoy this. It’s adorable, it’s fun, it’s brimming with culture and over the top ridiculousness, and a lot of heart and love went into it. When it comes to monsters, none feel useless. All of them have their positives at the cost of one of your 3 slots. More new and unseen monsters show up as the game progresses and each choice can make or break you. As for the follower monsters, good lord they can be a thorn in your side. They definitely do their part in throwing wrenches in your plans, or giving you that little boost while wreaking havoc on your opponents. I can’t tell you how many times my most hated AI would switch between the opponents based on how many times they decided to attack and what they did. It never felt infuriating however, it was always fun even when things were going wrong.

TLDR long games best experience imo just take breaks inbetween sessions play if you like growth and big numbers. Don’t expect many updates team listed is localization team
Please upvote i worked hard on this review
I won’t compare this game to other games that other reviewers have compared this game. this game does its
own thing and i think comparing it too other series is setting up consumers to be disappointed with a odd experience then what was promised.
This game really wants you to play this game a long time as properties can be upgraded and a whole gameplay loop revolves around getting the maximum investment out of your properties. all gameplay in this game scales with time. Money gained/lossed. monster stats and events. the game does have a short playtime game mode called skirmish that defaults to a 3 year game. which is quick for this game. but i’m mixed about it for i feel like that doesn’t show the greatness of this game fully. but at the same time playing this game for super long periods of time can get repetive this game does not have minigames outside of a quick button masher.

I played the first few levels and find it so very boring that I stopped playing and don’t think will do so again later. The only good thing about it is that it doesn’t cost much but still I would have rather saved the money for a game that is more enjoyable.
